Battery Care and Storage
• After repeated charging and use, battery life gradually decreases. When operation
time is too short to be useful, the battery should be replaced.
• If the battery pack becomes too hot, remove it from the camcorder and let it cool
down.
• Do not short the battery’s terminals.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside.
• Use the battery only with specified adapter/chargers and camcorders.
• Throwing the battery into a fire or exposing it to excessive heat – over 149˚F (65˚C)
could be hazardous.
This icon appears when battery is fully charged.
The icon changes to show that you’ve used some of the battery’s
power.
As you use more of the battery’s power, the icon changes again.
This battery icon flashes in the viewfinder when the battery power is
almost gone. The camcorder turns off automatically after a few
seconds.
